INSPECTION

Installation and Inspection of Torque Converter





- After inserting a torque converter to a transmission, be sure to check distance A to ensure it is within specifications.






INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal, while paying attention to the following:





- When installing transmission to the engine, attach the bolts in the order as shown.






CAUTION:
- When replacing an engine or transmission you must make sure the dowels are installed correctly during re-assembly.
- Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of drivetrain components.

NOTE:
*: No.2 bolt also secures air breather tube.





- Align the positions of bolts for drive plate with those of the torque converter, and temporarily tighten the bolts. Then tighten the bolts with the specified torque. SEE Removal and Installation (2WD).

CAUTION:
- When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
- After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be sure that transmission rotates freely without binding.
- Install crankshaft position sensor (POS).
- After completing installation check fluid leakage, fluid level and the positions of A/T. Checking, Checking Of A/T Position and Adjustments
